When skimming a magazine (or book or newspaper) do you flip through the pages from front to back or back to front?

FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK AFTER GOING THRO THE SPORTS SECTION MOST OF THE TIME.
I READ MOST PAPERS IN INTERNET. I GET ALL THE FOREIGN NEWSPAPERS IN ONE PAGE BY TYPING FASTFLIP.GOOGLELABS.COM IN ADD BAR. HAVE YOU TRIED THIS ONE.
I haven’t tired that LVISS. I will have to give that a try. Sounds pretty cool!
LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES.
Sometimes I start in the middle and work my way to the front or back. lol…that didn’t sound right!
dir-ty
DIR-TY!
This is a VERY good question! Hubby and I print 2 magazines. Sometimes clients complain when they are in the back of the book, but we tell them people are known to read from back to front.
As for me, I start at the front.
You print two magazines? What kind of magazines are they? Where do I get a copy?
One is a real estate magazine and the other a rental guide. I can mail you copies, or you can view our virtual magazine online. Our website is http://www.aroundtheriver.com Our graphic designer is excellent. I love her work.
That’s COOL Jean! So you and hubby are pround owners of a printing company? I checked out the virtual magazine and it is AWESOME! Your graphic designer does a great job for sure.
Thanks Gary! Yes, hubby started it 20 years ago and I hopped on board about 8 years ago.
That’s great Jean! Good for you guys!
Front to back unless there’s some article I want to read, then I skip to that.
BACK TO FRONT!
Back to front, but then I’ve always done things backasswards!
I go to the index and see if there is anything I want to read first and go to it…otherwise it’s front to back.
If I am interested Front to Back…If I’m not I might go from back to front.
I start in the back of magazines. As for a newspaper, I start in the life section.
Then funnies. 
I always start from the back. I thought I was the only weird one so it’s nice to see I’m not alone!
Your still weird though! LOL
Oh I’m fully aware of that!!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You kill me Nik!
From front to back. Is this a trick question?
LOL…nope, not a trick question. LOL
I read books and newspapers from front to back but magazines I always read back to front. I’m weird. LOL
With me…it depends on how I am feeling at the time. If I have time to relax….front to back. If I am in a hurry….I go everywhere! LOL
Ha!
Front to back !
